Reindeer in Alberta





One day I plan to go to the Yamal Peninsula in northwest Siberia to photograph reindeer herders. To get ready, I went to Sundre, Alta., to take pictures of Monika Hoegger's reindeer.

Legendary cowgirls

I've been photographing Lenore McLean and her family for more than 10 years. On assignment for the Herald, I first met the 72-year-old rancher. I had no idea that I would come to call this amazing lady one of my dear friends, a relationship that includes pop-in visits from my son Hunter and I. Recently the Herald sent myself and columnist Valerie Fortney to the McLean ranch to get a firsthand account of Lenore's friendship with the legendary Florence Weadick. McLean grew up next to the Weadicks and has many fond memories.

Here's a link to the story in the Herald http://tinyurl.com/42ps8aa

Clint Malarchuk

I had the opportunity to photograph former goalie and current Calgary Flames goalie coach Clint Malarchuk. Many remember the horrific night he nearly died when his throat was cut by a skate blade.
